I just finished watching Watchmen, and I'm just blown away. I was expecting another mindless action superhero movie, but nay, it actually had a very interesting plot. For me, Watchmen sits above The Dark Knight.

Considering I don't get a tv signal where I live, and I'm using my HDTV as a computer monitor, I guess I'm watching myself type this message. And to the side, I'm watching my cat sleep by the fireplace.

Tomorrow will take us away, far from home, no one will ever know our names, but the bard's song will remain....

*gape*I liked American History X, but god is it disturbing.

I need to return my Netflix DVDs so I can get new ones, but I've been watching a lot of Monk lately. Only seen a few random episodes but I liked it, and in a fit of boredom I've started going through the whole series.

Just broke out one of my Xmas presents; the first season of SNL on DVD. I'm only in the first episode (Geroge Carlin, Billy Preston, and Janis Ian) and its clear that they went back to the broadcast masters.

OMG, the second SNL was hosted by Paul Simon. Art Garfunkel joins him (this was their mutual hate period) for an unbelievable Boxer.

OK, up to Ep 6 (22 Nov 1975). Lily Tomlin singing "St. James Infirmary" while sitting on a piano played by Paul Shaffer (even then wearing Elton John glasses) with the entire SNL band wearing nurses uniforms. Just try to tell me that that works in any other decade.

Warren Zevon's valedictory appearance on Letterman (courtesy of YouTube). A man who knows he's about to die still tossing jokes back & forth with a Letterman I haven't seen since the '80s. The deep friendship and the sense of impending loss between them is obvious, yet they both rise above mawkishness and have fun while having an extremely adult conversation.

The music don't suck, either.

At the end of the show back in the green room Warren packed up his guitar and handed to to Dave saying "take care of this". Dave was an instant puddle.
